WoW is still active? oh man what people have wasted on money on this game with subscription fees alone... and time of their live just insane

The same could be said of any game minus the sub fee.

Neither of you know the pop #s. No one does, since blizzard doesn't publish them and hasn't in many years. The only info we have is mau (monthly users, which count how many unique accounts logged into their various games in a month. This includes multiple logins for different games by the same account) totals for all Activision blizzard games combined, not even individually.
The website I cited above is considered to be a very reliable source of info. Gonna take their word over yours all day long..

Are you drunk? Or just stupid?
My vote? Is withheld...:laugh:

Calm down.
LOL!

It happened in 2015, and is common knowledge. I explained to you how it works, but you seem more interested in just arguing.
I'm going to trust a current metrics website over a 7 year old article. Companies change their minds and policies on a regular basis. You're going to have to do better. Your argument still has no merit.

I've already cited a reliable website. Either post a link supporting your claim or hush up.
It is actually really well known that since sub numbers heavily dropped at one point (around 2015) that they stopped reporting on actual numbers and that they go by MAU (monthly active users) which is a count across ALL of their IPs rather than just WoW. This was back. I cant post links as I am at work and "gaming" sites are blocked by IT.

LOL!

Don't remind me, lol. I had one toon at 135 days and another at 127 days played, that's DAYS not hours. Add up all the alts that I didn't play as much and it was a big part of my life lol.

I cant view until i get home but chances are yes, they are guesses. It is widely known that blizzard does not release sub numbers only monthly active users (MAU's)

Edit: Here is a very reputable youtuber that basically does WoW stuff for a living and has a whole team so it's not a 1 man operation. He breaks down the MAU's to ESTIMATE how many ppl are still actively playing the game. He has no concrete numbers since Blizz does NOT release those numbers. They dont even tell their shareholders how many people actively play WoW.

Those are still numbers and they still show subscribers in the millions not the 500k quoted by mr Renald earlier which was a BS number he pulled out of his bum.

So did you with your links. As I explained, they do not release numbers anymore and haven't for 7+ years.

You keep yammering away, insisting that I'm wrong and yet the links I provided speak for themselves. You're not proving anything, you're just jibber-jabbering. Prove up or shut up..

This is one of the main reasons I don't bother with citations in debate like this. Even when I provide evidence, people just ignore it and continue with their ego driven agenda...

You're just plain wrong. Proof had been linked and it has been explained to you as to why you are wrong. Accept it, apologize for being so rude/trolly, and move on.

Kettle, meet pot. I'm being unpleasant because you are implying deception on the part of the stats sites and/or me. You're refusing to accept reality(yeah, I can say that too). Prove up or shut up.

My link is correct to the present. It's also common knowledge. Bye, enjoy your evening
